POP

Audun Molde

This is a story about pop music and the music industry – a contemporary cultural history that spans 200 years, from the industrial revolution to the digital age. It's a story about the creators of pop music, and their ideas; professionals, employees, business people, colleagues, rivals, craftsmen, artists, stars, icons; who have written, produced, sung, played and sold songs that have affected people all over the world. ‘3000 years of verse and chorus ‘Excellent reference and all in all a welcome piece of work for all of those with a general, if not very deep, interest for the subject.’ DAGBLADET ‘Audun Moldes book shows the recognizable traces of the development of POP through history. Unlike many of those who write about popmusic, the musicologist Molde also has the knowledge of tones, building of rhythm and the peculiarities of the composition of the different genres. A clean presentation of the greater facts can also be good narration.’ DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV

In Praise of Paths

Torbjørn Ekelund

Torbjørn Ekelund takes the reader on a personal and fascinating journey through the history of the path; from when the first humans migrated north after the last ice age, to the organized hiking trails of our time. History of the Path is a tale of movement and sense of orientation, migration and shortcuts, about the migraiton routes of birds and animals, about the landscape's significance to our lives, about our inherited need to move around, and about what we have lost in an age where everyone is in an office, drives a car and navigates using GPS. The first thing humans did when they climbed down from the trees of the African savannah, 200,000 years ago, was move about. We were nomadic, we had no concept of residence. We walked, and from that the first footpaths emerged. Footpaths came before everything else, before tools, fire, religions and the formation of society. Footpaths appeared and vanished, and new ones came along; myriads of stories, spun around the earth like the thread in a ball of yarn. I dream about footpaths. How many have I walked? Hundreds, maybe thousands. I remember them all, clearer than almost everything else I’ve seen or experienced, better than people I’ve ever met.

KNITWEAR FOR ALL OCCASIONS

Helle Siggerud

40 garments inspired by Norwegian traditions In this wonderful knitting book, Helle Siggerud has been inspired by costume traditions and folklore from all over Norway. She has traveled far and wide and immersed herself in Norwegian patterns; used in knitting, weaving, embroidery and wallpaper; and has transformed it into beautiful knitwear. Helle is famous for her figure-hugging garments, good cuts and snappy details. And you'll find all that here. The book features mostly women's garments, but there are also great designs for men and children – and for dogs! The book is divided according to Norway's five regions; North, East, South, West, and Central Norway; with each section containing interesting stories about patterns, cuts and textiles. Knit something from your favorite region, or just go with what you find most appealing. There are instructions for over 40 beautiful knitwear designs in the book, among them you'll find coats, sweaters, tops, vests, skirts, bags and accessories. The garments are as equally suited for everyday wear as they are for a party. The images, elegantly photographed by Eivind Røhne, show the garments styled both for urban use and as party suits in more national romantic surroundings. Maybe you'll find yourself driven to make your own costume. At the back of the book we've included a guide to sewing a simple women's national-costume. A beautiful and exciting book; that'll perhaps inspire you to be just like Helle, who knits day and night, creating classic timeless garments.
